26、Brooke wanted a toy and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated (声控的) home helper powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon Echo device (回波装置). And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. After being reported on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order toys!
Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming (即将来临的) Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don’t often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom (繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future.
Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you’re cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without help.
But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted things aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? What if someone hacks (非法侵入) the device? What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time?
【1】What is Alexa?
A.A TV reporter.
B.A friend of Brooke.
C.A kind of device.
D.A cookie maker.
【2】What can you learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Alexa is the best AI device.
B.Voice shopping may have a bright future.
C.People use Bixby mainly for listening to music.
D.People buy various things through voice shopping.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards Alexa devices?
A.Optimistic.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Negative.
【4】What column (专栏) may the passage be taken from in the newspaper?
A.Education.
B.Business.
C.Entertainment.
D.Technology.

28、Bluefin tuna are streamlined to perfection and equipped with cutting—edge biological gear. They are found in all the oceans except around the North and South Poles. The bluefin is a modern fish, yet its relationship with humanity is ancient. Japanese fishermen and the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest have caught Pacific bluefin for more than 5,000 years.
But this relationship with humans has lately been damaging to the bluefin. They are today among the most overfished species on Earth.
Captain Dennis Cameron and his crew left port in his fishing boat. They were on a different kind of fishing trip. They had come to tag and measure bluefin. While Cameron went toward deep water, Steve Wilson, a Stanford University researcher who works with the Tuna Research and Conservation Center (TRCC), checked the satellite tags he hoped to attach to bluefin that day.
After another 20 minutes, they successfully tagged a big bluefin. On his laptop the night before, Wilson had programmed the satellite tag to release in a little over nine months. The tag will rise to the ocean’s surface and send information about the tuna’s movements to TRCC’s home base in California.
The locations of bluefin, as reported by the many satellite tags over the years, are represented on the map by small circles in different colors. The western bluefin —represented as reddish—orange circles —pack the Gulf of Mexico, their spawning grounds. From there they spread eastward into the western Atlantic and cross over to the eastern Atlantic, reaching all the way to Portugal and Spain. The eastern bluefin —represented as white circles —fill their Mediterranean spawning grounds, and from there spread westward, crossing over to the western Atlantic, covering the coastal waters of the United States and Canada.
But an alarming lesson lies hidden at Hopkins Marine Station. Established by Stanford University in 1892, it was the first marine lab on the west coast of the United States. It sold buildings, like the abandoned canneries immediately to the east, were built during the age of sardines, which ended 60 years ago due to overfishing. By the 1980s sardine populations had started to come back a little, but now they are falling again.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To give reasons for the bluefin’s decline.
B.To show that bluefin is an traditional food.
C.To explain why the bluefin is a modern fish.
D.To explain our long history with the bluefin.
【2】Why did Steve Wilson and his team want to tag the bluefin?
A.They could later identify illegal fishing.
B.They could track the bluefin’s movement.
C.They could know how deep the bluefin dive.
D.They could pay for those helping their research.
【3】Where are western bluefin NOT found?
A.In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
B.Off the coast of Spain and Portugal.
C.In the middle of Mediterranean Sea.
D.Off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
【4】Why does the author discuss sardines in the last paragraph?
A.To warn that bluefin could face a similar fate.
B.To give hope of bringing back fish populations.
C.To show the previous research is no longer relevant.
D.To explain the cause of their decline remains unknown.
